Price Calculation

Every endpoint has a corresponding price calculation endpoint. Call it with the same parameters to get the exact cost before running the job. Pattern: POST /api/v1/client/{endpoint}/price-calculation 
curl -X POST https://api.modelbeam.ai/api/v1/client/txt2img/price-calculation \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{

How Pricing Works

Prices are calculated based on the computational resources required:
  • Image generation — Based on resolution (width x height), number of steps, and model complexity
  • Video generation — Based on resolution, number of frames, and inference steps
  • Text-to-Speech — Based on character count
  • Transcription — Based on audio/video duration
  • OCR — Based on output character count
  • Embeddings — Based on token count
  • Background removal / Upscale — Based on input image resolution
